Chapter 311 Combined Force
The wind elder directed a blast of wind and used it to intercept the path of the ball of fire that was spat out by Cerberus.
With help from the three elven elders joined by Moneyck and Theron, the two elemental spirits were able to get to Cerberus without any of its attacks touching them.
Efreet let go of Salamander's leg, and then it started to fall downward at an alarming speed.
It clenched its fist and took advantage of its fall momentum to dive its body at an angle where Cerberus would be the stool for it to fall on.
With both of its legs tightly placed together, Efreet landed its heavy body down on Cerberus's upper body.
The pressure pushed down Cerberus's backbone, causing all four of its legs to go down on its knees with Efreet standing on top of it.
Standing on top of the kneeling Cerberus, Efreet grabbed the head on the left side and stretched it back really hard.
Efreet pulled it as hard as it could until it was able to sever the head from the neck by drawing it out like meat.
From the ripped neck, blood was not the substance that came out of it. It was magma, hot watery magma.
Efreet threw the ripped head off and clenched both its fist, then started pummeling Cerberus with it. Cerberus ignored the fist punching down on its body and turned its right head toward Efreet.
Efreet gave the head that was about to spew out fire an uppercut, sending the direction of the fire upward, away from it.
The other head of Cerberus also turned to look at it the same way that the first head did.
Efreet made a jump for it just in time before its body was drenched in Cerberus's flame.
It jumped off its back and landed in front of the gatekeeper with two heads and a detached neck.
After Efreet got off Cerberus's back, something happened that made Efreet understand that it wasn't just dealing with any kind of opponent.
The head that Efreet had gone through the trouble of severing from the neck, regrew itself, starting from the limb wiggling and stretching out more limbs from the rest of the body until a canine head came into shape.
The process it took for it all to happen was but seconds in the eyes of Efreet.
Cerberus with all three of its heads, spat out its flame breath at Efreet. To evade it, the colossal humanoid being jumped away from where the fire was aiming at.
Cerberus followed Efreet with the fire still coming out of its mouth. The distance was slowly closed, and the fire almost got to Efreet when an earth wall shielded its body.
There was no need for Efreet to turn its body to have to know that the earth wall is an ability that was made by the earth-elven elder.
Not only the earth elder. The fire elder, the wind elder, Theron, and Monryck. From time to time, they are also helping out Efreet in the best way that they can.
By maintaining a certain distance so as not to get in the way of two colossal entities brawling it out, and from there, they release their long-range attack that is at their disposal against Cerberus.
While Efreet was doing its best to not get into contact with the flames from Cerberus, Salamander was also making its attack on Cerberus from above, raining down its fire breath on the gatekeeper.
Efreet widened the distance between it and Cerberus. With both of its hands stretched forward and the palms facing opposite each other.
It aggressively jammed its palm together, sending out echoes and shockwaves, tremors with stormy winds released into the atmosphere.
From the range of the palm down to everything that was in its sight were sent crashing and flying, forcefully uprooted from their position, and sharply pushed as far back as they can get.
Cerberus the gatekeeper was also not spared from the effect of Efreet's palm attack. Its massive body was thrown off its footing and left rolling about as it continues to get pushed backward.
From above, Salamander dived down to the ground and stood beside Efreet. With its mouth wide open, Salamander released its fire breath, adding the effect of high-degree burning to an ongoing storm.
The result was catastrophic, leading to the formation of a ruined land dreaded with shadows of what was once lively.
ραпdα- n?νe|`c,0m The ground was burned out, the trees were gone and the thought that life once thrived in the land was no more.
The breath reached where the cave was and it destroyed the walls of the cave, shattering through it until there was nothing left to cover the gate.
Now, the gate leading to the demon realm was the only thing standing, the only object that withstood the combined attack of Efreet and Salamander without getting destroyed or having a dent in it.
The appearance of the gate did not make it seem like it was capable of withstanding an attack that decimated everything in its path.
Although it is huge and space-taking, it was only a one-sided gate with nothing behind it except for the view of the surrounding that the gate is located.
The three elven elders, Monryck and Theron. They marveled at the witness of the two elemental spirits combined attack and thanked their grace that they were located outside the range of the attack and not in.
"It is a good thing we followed your words, Theron. I cannot imagine what would have become of us if we did not do that". Moneyck confessed.
He could feel his skin tingling at the aftereffect of the attack, and his thoughts deep in concern of what would have come to be if he did not listen to Theron on time.
While they were questioning the sanity of the attack, not only is Cerberus who survived the attack already getting back on its feet and ready to continue from where they stopped, but there is also a new phenomenon that is ongoing with the gates leading to the underworld.
